Livonia ESA & PSD — Common Questions
Do I need an ESA letter or PSD evaluation in Livonia?
If you primarily need housing accommodations in Wayne County rentals, an ESA letter ($149) is sufficient. If you need full ADA public access rights — including access to SMART & DDOT routes and Livonia businesses — a Psychiatric Service Dog evaluation ($199) provides broader legal coverage.
How long does the process take for Livonia residents?
Both ESA and PSD evaluations are completed entirely online. After your free screening, a Michigan-licensed clinician reviews your case and delivers your signed letter within 24–48 hours.
Does Madonna University student housing accept these letters?
Yes. Madonna University follows HUD 2020 ESA guidelines for housing accommodations. For ADA workplace and campus access, a PSD evaluation provides the strongest legal protection.
Can Wayne County landlords refuse my ESA or PSD?
Very rarely. Under the FHA and Michigan PWDCRA, Wayne County landlords must make reasonable accommodations for ESAs. PSDs also have full ADA public access rights that override most property restrictions.
